    Sturgeon Lake

    I was bank fishing for carp. Take Oak Island Road to Haldeman Pond and follow the gravel road to the right of the pond to the end of the "boat launch." There is a trail that follows the bank of the lake to the left of the launch. I saw a dead one about 20 inches washed up on the shore. I have a...

    Sturgeon Lake

    Most likely were carp. I have caught smallmouth and seen washed up walleye in there, though. It is a big nice flat for fish to spawn during the spring time.

    Salish ponds Fairview, Oregon

    I'm normally throwing a wacky rigged senko or a 4.8 inch Keitech Fat Impact along the shore line. Find the flats and you'll find the fish.

    Salish ponds Fairview, Oregon

    The warm water fishing at West Salish has improved without the stocking of trout and the crowd. Fishing pressure is almost non existent. I have this pond figured out. I don't mind it being kept this way.

    I have tried carp before.. And it was not nasty. Its pretty flavorless but a good sauce and spice will make it good. Its almost like cod.. But mushier. One of our relative only eats carp and tosses steelhead and salmon.. He says to catch the smaller fishes but make sure their heads have a hump...

    Squirrel hunting

    UGLYSTICKER you can get them down south of you or if you're willing to travel to the white river unit east of the cascades. There is a gooooood population down southern oregon but east of the cascades they're pretty scarce.. Nice squirrels! :D

    Squirrel hunting

    I'm talking about big western gray squirrel hunting not the city squirrels. Anyone hunt for these critters when september rolls around? They're tasty and fun to hunt but also veryy challenging. The numbers have declined over the years and it is very lucky to see at least 5 a day. If you've never...

    Sea lions and crabs

    The family and I arrived at the fishing pier behind rogue brewery saturday at about 11 am. We quickly set up our rings with shad and waited a solid ten minutes. After pulling in the traps our bait was gone. This happened 2-3 rounds of waiting. I was puzzled.. I did however see a few sea lions...

    blue lake (next to fairfield lake in north gresham area)

    i see you are from hillsboro.. Hit hagg instead. Blue lake isn't really worth the drive. you'll catch tons of stunted sun fish, maybe bass, and maybe carp.
